Reserves

Ahhhhh San Dieeeeeeeaaaggggoooo. Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego..... Ron Burgundy

The cool temperatures have been a welcome relief from the Tucson heat. After a week of riding northern San Diego County, I have a good grasp of what needs to be done to make a ~60 mile epic loop. This area is home to dozens of preserves, when connected together, you could have a potential for a huge, full day epic. Enter a week of scouting and "getting back into shape."

A few pictures from the scouting this week to get you a taste of the riding.

Got a GPS file of the route? I am wondering how you would make it a true loop. I grew up near Hodges and would love to figure out a real loop connecting all these preserves. The closest I have seen is SDMBA's Archipeligo ride.

After lots of searching/networking with local MTB guys, I found a route and will be bikepacking it in the next couple months sometime. Maybe I can post a link to the gpx and kml files I create to navigate myself through all the connections.

Wow, that is a great landscape right there. That would have been a pleasure to ride in the weather you were writing about. The weather just cooled down quite a bit in the mid-west so I have been taking full advantage of the single tracks. Although, nothing around here even looks close to that.
